Social Attention

Bernardo A. Huberman (HP Labs) tackles the topic of Social Attention.  In the age of the web and with the ubiquity of social networks, the scarce – and valuable – resource is attention…attention not as an individual psychological mechanism, but as a social phenomenon measured by the intensity of signals that relate to a particular idea, theory, product, research program, movie, book, etc.

Questions :

How do social networks mediate attention? How does attention relate to the amount and intensity of information available? What is the role that novelty and popularity play in eliciting attention?
